Reviews

The Oxford Handbooks of Political Science are an ambitious academic enterprise of monumental scale and accomplishment. The Handbook on Political Behavior is an indispensable guide to the extraordinary accumulation of knowledge and array of ideas in recent decades about mass political behaviour in free democracies. It is authoritative, expert, up-to-date and comprehensive and it is organised and written with a clarity that will satisfy expert scholar and curious beginner alike. Professor Ivor Crewe, Vice Chancellor, University of Essex The Oxford Handbook of Political Behavior provides important coverage of one of the major areas of political science research. It brings together the leading authors in the field and it takes a very broad view of what is a complex and multi-dimensional subject matter. Students entering political science and scholars pursuing the subject will benefit from this volume. Sidney Verba, Carl H. Pforzheimer University Professor, Harvard University
